When Jennifer Aniston recently took over Living Proof's Instagram last week, we were instantly reminded how amazing the '90s were with her crazy-good hair throwback. It got us walking down memory lane of all the hair magic that happened in the Greatest Decade Ever. While that title is certainly up for debate, these photos of '90s hair greatness offer some serious proof: Jennifer Aniston, circa 1996 A photo posted by Living Proof (@livingproofinc) on May 21, 2015 at 11:13am PDT Aniston shared this photo of herself alongside Picture Perfect costar Andrea Bendewald (fun fact: Andrea just so happened to be a bridesmaid in her wedding when she married Brad Pitt in 2000). The ladies paired boho flower dresses with matching midlength layered cuts, eye-grazing bangs, and volume, loads of volume. Britney Spears, 1999 At the 1999 American Music Awards—one of her first red carpet appearances—Spears hit the scene with baby bangs and super-crimped hair topped with a girly beaded headband. Sarah Michelle Gellar, 1997 The Buffy star attended a red-carpet premiere with a sleek updo featuring two teeny, stick-straight slivers of hair to frame her face—a trend we admittedly still don't understand today. Drew Barrymore, circa 1990 Barrymore was rocking read more

Zoe Saldana, Gwen Stefani, and Amy Adams have superstar style, and while each is celebrated for her individuality and uniqueness, they share a secret weapon when it comes to red carpet dressing: stylist Petra Flannery. Normally behind the scenes, Flannery is currently taking her own turn in the spotlight, landing atop The Hollywood Reporter’s 2015 list of 25 Most Powerful Stylists, which also includes Brandon Maxwell (the mastermind behind Lady Gaga’s plunging deep-V silver Grammys ensemble), Leslie Fremar (think Julianne Moore in custom Givenchy ombre crystals at the Globes), and Elizabeth Stewart (who paired Cate Blanchett’s Maison Margiela by John Galliano with a statement Tiffany & Co. turquoise necklace at the Oscars). At the recent lunch sponsored by Jimmy Choo in their honor, Flannery and her colleagues responsible for the best red carpet looks in the industry let us in on their tricks of the trade: “Own the look, and be confident,” advises Flannery, who was responsible for Stefani’s trendsetting wardrobe on the Voice and Emma Stone’s daring jumpsuit at the Golden Globes. “Have fun and smile!” says Micaela Erlanger, who counts Olivia Munn, Lupita Nyong’o, and Jared Leto as clients. “Always have the best tailor,” recommends Ilaria Urbinati, read more

Take a second to think about what your favorite pair of jeans is like, considering all the various factors that make them so perfect for you. Then, think about what celebrity routinely wears denim that makes you take notice and wonder (maybe even obsess over) what brand they are, where she got them, etc. I firmly believe we've all got blue-jean spirit animals: models and actresses who wear denim just the way we'd like to. Once you've identified whose style you find particularly stellar, there are so many more lessons to unlock! H&M, a supplier of pretty fantastic won't-break-the-bank skinnies and more, is working with celebrity stylist Rachel Wirkus. "They've refocused their denim and it's working," she told me, admitting that she hasn't found much difference between her pairs from the brand and other, more expensive styles. "They use a high-tech stretch that allows their shaping denim to keep its fit all day, which some of the more expensive brands don't." When I got the chance to talk denim with her, we broke it down by celebrity inspiration. If your denim style is more Kate Middleton... Read: You like classic, simple styles, and that's good—they're universally flattering. "A classic jean read more

Maybe you didn't believe us when we told you that lipstick and sunglass combos were the thing to think about for spring, but then Gwen Stefani just went and proved our point by stepping out with the most warm-weather-y look thanks to her pink sunglasses and lips and red nails. This fruit-color extravaganza looks so fresh and fun—a great casual-cute idea for spring. Want more combos to try? Check these pretty ones out! read more

When two of the world's most stylish ladies, Taylor Swift and Gwen Stefani, go for the same hair accessory in one weekend, you know that something has shifted in the land of chicness. Both the of the famous blonds were spotted wearing low-rider headbands, the hair accessory of princesses, nymphs, and, apparently, pop stars who occasionally act. Low-riders have popped up here and there over the years, but perhaps it's the fact that we're facing spring that has brought them back to us at this moment. There's something about the whole carefree vibe they give off that screams "wear me in a field of flowers!" Want to get in on the action? Check out this crystal band from ASOS or this cool beaded black one by Tasha. read more

Wende Zomnir, cofounder and chief creative officer of Urban Decay, is the coolest woman you've never met (unless you have actually met her, in which case, you already know what I'm talking about). She's the kind of woman who can regale you with stories about heli-boarding and scuba diving one minute and then turn around and describe exactly what it takes to build a global brand from scratch the next. Her latest endeavor proves that cool begets cool. She's teamed up with Gwen Stefani to kick off Urban Decay's the Utraviolet Edge, a women's empowerment initiative. This year, the company plans to donate $500,000 through Ultraviolet Edge to multiple organizations supporting women's rights. To start with, the entire purchase price of Enigma, a new limited-edition shade of UD's cult-favorite Eyeshadow Primer Potion, will go to the Women's Global Empowerment Fund. The fund will then use the money to provide microloans, education, and leadership training to women in post-conflict Northern Uganda. "We hope that by helping to fund organizations that fight for the rights of women everywhere, we can encourage and empower all women to embrace their individuality in everything they do," says Zomnir. "I’ve personally supported organizations that empower women read more

When awards season rolls around to the Grammys, you know you're in for some style treats. The best-dressed list is always fantastic, but it's different from other red carpets—more relaxed than the Oscars and a little crazier than everything else (I mean, even Giuliana Rancic picked pants!). The always-cool Gwen Stefani didn't disappoint in this Atelier Versace jumpsuit, particularly rad due to the gathering on the hips and the sculpted, jeweled twist of the neckline. She called it "artwork" and told E!'s Ryan Seacrest that she got to see a lot of it being made. Gah, Miranda Lambert! My girl crush gets bigger all the time, and this just racheted it up another notch. This sexy black column dress would've been fantastic on its own, but the hot pink straps give it just a punch of personality that feels so Miranda. Her jewelry is Jennifer Fisher and her clutch is Kotur. Katy Perry's done every type of look under the sun, but the sparkly spangles of this Zuhair Murad make it feel like one of her most glam ever ("I just want to shine bright like a diamond," she told Seacrest). The midcalf hemline is key for making it feel read more

Could Katy Perry's Super Bowl hairstyle join the ranks of the all-time most epic celebrity ponytails? “Katy specifically asked for the perkiest pony you’ve ever seen,” says her hairstylist, Clyde Haygood. That's a tall order—the perky pony is a time-honored onstage tradition, with some of music's strongest female characters using its iconically cute vibe to juxtapose their fierce, sexy signature styles. Cher mastered the look back in the '60s, with her famous mod mane and matching dramatic doll eyes. Britney Spears chose the ideal complement for her frosted eyeshadow and pleather tube top during her wildly popular 1999 tour: a high ponytail with faux-fur scrunchie (obviously). During the No Doubt 1.0 era, Gwen Stefani contrasted her rock-hard bod and tough-girl outfits with a girly clip-in Barbie pony; here's one example from the 2001 Billboard Music Awards. But can a ponytail ever hope to top Madonna's crowning glory from her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour? Probably not—that pony's an icon unto itself—but it's fun for everyone to keep trying. On Katy Perry last night, Haygood used a human-hair Velcro ponytail with varying lengths for extra bounce—and he had to create his own super-secure attachment system for when she helicoptered the pony around read more

Even on the slopes, Gwen Stefani takes time to glam up. At least she seems to be wearing makeup in these shots she posted from her family ski trip. A photo posted by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on Dec 12, 2014 at 10:01am PST @EOS #snowlips #ski gx A photo posted by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on Dec 12, 2014 at 2:01pm PST It appears she's wearing black eyeliner, false eyelashes, and, well, EOS lip balm. There are also shots of her reapplying lip gloss in her ski gear (you can see them here). This woman is dedicated to glamour, I tell you. Respect. Do any of you wear makeup when you ski? read more

New Year's Eve is almost upon us, which means we have one last party look to get right in 2014. And lucky for us, Gwen Stefani gave us a lot of beauty inspiration this year with all her looks for her appearances on The Voice and elsewhere in Glam-ville. Here are three ideas you can steal from her that'll make you the belle of the ball...or your friend's house party, whatever. Idea 1) Tuck two hairpins into your hair for a little extra something. Hair accessories need not be fancy to look fancy. #nodoubttattoo #Eric Stefani #OMG #Who am I? #Crazy gx Zdjęcie zamieszczone przez uſytkownika Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) Wrz 9, 2014 at 10:05 PDT Idea 2) Try an ultra-glam look, wear a wide line of liquid eyeliner with matte red lipstick. #latergram from behind the scenes at last night's @nbcthevoice performance✌ￏ A photo posted by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on May 5, 2014 at 12:51pm PDT Idea 3) Go for metallic nails.

Coolness just sort of oozes out of Gwen Stefani's pores and this year she's been looking better than ever. So OF COURSE she closes out the year with what could possibly be her coolest hairstyle to date. Last night she showed up to the People Magazine Awards with this fierce knotted, geometric sculpture of a hairstyle: The sides were stick-straight and allowed to hang down like curtains on the sides of her face. Then the back was pulled into two knots with the ends allowed to spike out this way and that. There was nothing soft about it—all drama. She made it look amazing, I say. What do you guys think? One of her best? Or are you not feeling it? Discuss below. read more

Sometimes it's the subtlest changes that have the most impact. None of the following three celebrities underwent a major makeover in 2014, yet all suddenly, somehow, looked even more beautiful than usual. Don't you agree? 1. Gwen Stefani I've been the biggest Gwen fangirl since I was in high school, and I always think she looks amazing. But seeing her on The Voice this year, I seriously couldn't stop staring; it's like she hasn't aged a single day since Tragic Kingdom. (Read what she recently had to say to us about looking awesome at any age!). I can't even pinpoint what she might be doing differently with her hair and makeup, but the skin care game is obviously strong with this one. 2.Cameron Diaz This is another lady I've crushed on forever and ever—since the days when she was merely another model on the pages of my beloved Seventeen magazine. (Clearly I have a thing for blonds who don't take themselves too seriously.) And like Gwen, she's had a particularly glowing year, with skin that has such a healthy, radiant glow, highlighted with punchy lip colors. 3. Olivia Munn Olivia Munn has appeared here on our beauty blog quite a read more

At this weekend's Jingle Ball event in L.A., two of our favorite blond singers—both known for pushing the beauty envelope—showed up with hairstyles we've never, ever seen before. What do you think of these edgy ideas? 1. Gwen Stefani wore her hair half swept back into stacked messy buns and accented the loose front section with vivid multitone hair color reminiscent of a bird feather. 2. Rita Ora gave her blunt bob and bangs a whole new vibe by adding strategic shorter pieces all across her fringe. Kind of cool and modern, I think! (Though possibly really annoying when the long pieces catch in her lashes.) Share your thoughts on these unique hair ideas below—we can't wait to hear what you have to say! read more

Mondays are hard—but you know what helps make them a little less terrible (besides coffee)? An updated playlist. And while we've been all about Taylor Swift lately, these brand-new songs from Gwen Stefani, Calvin Harris, and others are definitely worth a listen (or five)! Check them all out below and consider your day vastly improved. Calvin Harris featuring Ellie Goulding, "Outside" We already know (and love) the Harris/Goulding pairing, thanks to 2012's "I Need Your Love"—and "Outside," a track from Harris' forthcoming album Motion, is no exception to that EDM rule. When these two get together, it takes a lot of restraint to keep my fist from making a victorious pumping motion in the air. Gwen Stefani, "Baby Don't Lie" It's been eight years since we've had a single from Stefani, but "Baby Don't Lie" proves it was worth the wait. And true to form, The Voice coach nails it with a pulsing beat and an incredibly catchy hook (you'll be humming "baby don't, baby don't, baby don't lie" on end after just one listen). The single is the first from Stefani's upcoming solo album, and she's also working on a No Doubt album (yessss!) and will appear on Calvin read more

You gotta hand it to The Voice. Season after season, it still manages to get the most charismatic, popular group of coaches who all get along and fit together seamlessly. So when NBC asked if we wanted to have an exclusive clip of Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, and Pharrell goofing off behind the scenes, we couldn't pass it up. Take a look at what happens when the judges decide to find out a little bit more about one another. Moist? Good one, Blake. The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 P.M./7 P.M. CT on NBC. read more

Gwen Stefani may be completely ageless (no, actually, I think she's aging backward), she's killing it as the newest esteemed coach on The Voice (his name is Blake Shelton, Gwen), and she FINALLY made a much-appreciated return to New York Fashion Week with her first L.A.M.B. presentation since 2011 (thank you). But my Gwen Stefani focus today is on her coat collection, because we all have fall fashion on the brain. For someone who lives in balmy Los Angeles, Gwen has a pretty stellar outerwear wardrobe—and most likely partially due to having her pick of the L.A.M.B. collections and archives. But along with having great taste in music, she also has exceptional personal style. So for this installment of Glamour Style Icon of the Week, let's take some fall dressing inspiration from Gwen's greatest coat hits. At NYFW, Gwen was, obviously, the best model for her own collection, pairing a vibrantly printed bomber jacket with matching lean-fit harem pants. Hey, if anyone could make Hammer pants happen again, it's Gwen Stefani. During another NYFW party, Gwen rocked a seriously rad quilted leather track jacket, by L.A.M.B., naturally, and coordinated it with printed plaid and animal-print trousers and strappy heels from read more

And the great big fashion trend of the spring 2015 season is (drumroll, please): wearing whatever you want, whenever you want. Fringes for work, black-tie-ready trousers, Miley Cyrus-designed conical party hats—all that and more could be yours for the spring fashion season. Go ahead and break the rules. While I'm personally not planning on donning Miley Cyrus for Jeremy Scott's arts-and-crafts-inspired headgear any time soon, there is one last fashion paradigm that needs breaking, in my opinion. No, it's not wearing white after Labor Day, or pairing black and brown together—it's the idea of dressing for one's age. The topic has long made me uncomfortable. Do I have to lose my jean shorts and crop tops (not together, guys) because I'm 33? What about when I'm 43—will my knees ever see the light of day? I'm just not OK with that. A quandary of such magnitude called for the big guns—a chat with the personification of wear whatever you want at whatever age and still look cool. No one suits that description better than the iconic, individual, and inspiring Gwen Stefani. Rocking midriff-baring tops with boxy cargos, glittering Versace evening gowns with plunging necklines, and head-to-toe hot pink, at age read more

Gwen Stefani is one of my all-time favorite on-point style icons, so generally speaking, when she opts to do something lazy with her hair, I feel like I have the official go-ahead from the universe to copy it and still feel like I haven't given up on life. Which is why the fact that she went in a baseball cap is the best beauty news of the day in my eyes. Her Los Angeles cap also doubles as a sign of hometown pride. I'm feeling this. Now I just have to decide if I should go with New York or Kentucky. Hard choice for a girl proud of being raised in one place and adult-y in the other. Maybe I'll just have to get one of each and switch off, depending on the outfit. Any baseball-cap lovers out there feeling smug now? read more
